| Spectrum Policy and Planning |
Introduction
The Telecommunications Law gives Anatel the duty to manage the radio frequency spectrum in
Brazil. Anatel is responsible for maintaining an allocating plan that designates radio frequencies
for exclusive military purposes (made in conjunction with the Armed Forces),
telecommunications services under the public and private regimes, broadcasting services,
emergency and public security services, and other telecommunications activities.
In a broader sense, Anatel is responsible for updating the frequency assignment book that
includes all uses of spectrum throughout Brazil.
A new regulation on spectrum usage in Brazil was issued by Anatel on April 17, 2001. The
regulation sets forth in detail the framework for spectrum usage in Brazil, codifying Anatel’s
existing practices.
